Entry: REDACTED #27

Open jaranta opened 8 years ago

jaranta commented 8 years ago

I've never participated before and I'm pretty new to generating text, but I have two ideas for an entry:

  1. A spy novel comprised mostly of after-action reports. Mostly tools, targets and goals with code names for the important parties.

Finished!

It's far from perfect, but I've got 50 000 words of top secret memos.

Pdf here.

Source here.

I had to cheat with a find-and-replace to make the pdf behave because LaTex is awful.

Depending on how you go about it, the second one might be. (The first one reminds me a bit of my "scene/sequel" caper novel generator from last year.)

Excited to see either!

  2. A fable in the form of a dialogue where two (or more) animal characters argue about some moral issue (something like Aesop's Grasshopper and Ant)

The first one is probably more formulaic and easy to do, but I'm not sure.

I'll go look at your last year's generator. Thanks for the tip!
